    2017~2025 CX-5 Maintenance Reminder/Oil Change due - Last Oil Change @ 3,179 mi

    My first oil change per the thread title was 9/28/2019. I set the maintenance reminder to Flexible as suggested instead of by mileage. In June 2020, I had the PCM update for the CD Recall. The maintenance reminder started displaying the wrench within the last month or so and while driving for...

    2017~2025 Anybody replace the plastic headlight lens cover?

    Can you put some glue in the crack to seal it? If the crack doesn't get bigger, that may help keep it from going all the way through.

    New Mazda map?

    Upgraded in Jan 2020. This update was worse than the previous version for my area. Speed limits were over the posted limits and the previous version was more accurate. Hope the new version corrects those errors.

    What was changed in the engine (USA)?

    Where? Thicker window glass and more sound insulation for a quieter ride.

    Havoline oil w/ Moly?

    The Walmart online price for 5 qts of Castrol Edge 0W-20 is the same as Amazon Prime. Amazon was cheaper than the local Walmart and it was out of stock when I visited.

    Advice for new 2018 GT Owner

    Look on the placard when the driver’s side door is open. It should say 35 psi.

    Advice for new 2018 GT Owner

    Regarding the change in steering - Did you check your tire pressures while the tires are cold? It could be low pressure that isn’t low enough to trigger the TPMS. Hopefully you own your own tire gauge, the ones at the gas stations may not be accurate and your tires heat up driving there.

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    The problem I've noticed from shopping the after market cargo covers is there were some complaints about fit or the attachments breaking. Part of the advertisements mentioned that shining a flashlight through the tint will reveal what is uncovered in your hatch. I tried it and I could see...

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    That’s why I use landscaping cloth as my cargo cover.

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    No cargo cover as standard equipment. C’mon Mazda, I’m not paying $200 for something that was provided for free in the 2010 Mazda 3 hatchbacks.

    Lane Keeping Assist Behavior

    It is only a warning that can be set to a Beep, Rumble through the speakers, or vibrate your steering wheel. You have to steer the car back into your lane.

    Oil change drama

    I was at the dealer yesterday getting my PCM reflashed for CD recall and I asked the service manager if the 0W-20 oil they use for their free oil & filter changes is full synthetic. His reply was it is a blend, you need to pay extra for full synthetic. I’m going to stick with my DIY oil changes.

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    I'm wondering if my local dealers have the PCM programmers on hand or have to get them from Mazda. I haven't had this recall performed since I rather wait at the dealer instead of having the dealer's staff picking up my car. This COVID-19 crap is a PITA as far as getting service. My car has...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Drop in mileage and performance?

    Did you have the recall done for the PCM reprogramming? I recall the dangerous cylinder deactivation thread where the OP was revving his engine up to 6000 rpm and experienced the no power situation.

    Service past due message randomly appears

    I'm experiencing the same thing too (U.S. model). I may mention it to the dealer when I take it in for the recall (rocker arm may fall off issue - engines with cylinder deactivation). I recall seeing other threads on this; however, it is more of an irritant and I'm in no hurry to get this fixed.

    Distracted Driving: Android Auto / Apple Car Play

    I haven’t purchased the upgrade since I don’t listen to streaming music in my car and would only use it for maps. Also, it appears there’s lots of bugs in Android auto, perhaps because of the many phones running different android versions. And now there’s this... Interesting article...

    The screenshot I posted was before I performed the update. However, if Mazda only releases updates in January, that would effectively limit me to one more update. I guess I’ll see.

    Thanks for the help! The link on page 1 was also helpful since I wasn't sure about the other sites hosting the download. I noticed that my SD card was activated 10/12/2018. Perhaps because the car exceeded the mileage spec (had about 125 mi) and was automatically activated. One of the...

    Is the Mazda Toolbox only compatible with Windows? I should update my Nav card since I bought a left over 2018 GT in Jan 2019. We only have Macs and an old Win7 pc that was infected with malware. I installed Linux in a separate hdd partiton.
